Sunday 11th January 2015
B 9am two weet-bix w/ 200ml skim milk.
L 12pm leftover beef mince nepolitana and steamed veggies (2 florets of broccoli, carrots and zucchini). A pear.
    3pm 25g almonds, a Goodness Superfoods cereal bar and a cup of English B'fast tea w/ lite milk.
D 6:30pm dad's steamed snapper (peanut oil sauce), a mussel and pork bone soup w/ white rice. 2/3 mango, grapes, a cup of Earl Grey w/ skim milk and 10g Lindt 70% dark chocolate.
    9:30pm a piece of multigrain toast w/ peanut butter and 90g Black Swan Greek Breakfast Yogurt.

I try to see patterns in my eating in accordance to how I'm feeling and also how I look. Every 5-10 days I've noticed that I need to eat some kind of chocolate in a relatively large quantity in order to satisfy cravings. I'll first try to satisfy the craving with dark chocolate usually and try not to consume too much sugar. But sometimes it doesn't always work and I'll be reaching for more. This is when I must learn to do something that will help me to avoid overeating. If I let myself go here then I'll have a day or even a few where I'm eating anything & everything in sight, only damaging my progress and health. The positive side is that it is not nearly as bad as it used to be, and the amount that I eat is getting less each time. So with a few more months of conscious eating I'll hopefully be able to handle my cravings more.

Unfortunately on Monday 12th January 2015 I had chocolate for breakfast (dark, albeit) and this led to a day of careless eating.
But the best part about today was seeing the first trial of Fast4 Tennis with Federer and Hewitt along with other exhibition players!
I am always in awe when I see Federer play - he is such an amazing player and person. Mum, Richard and I were very lucky to be chosen to go along with Pa with the tickets he received from the staff at the hospital he volunteers at. I am very thankful to everyone!
